Hi
Exercising on fresh 6-CURRENT
ndis0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection> mem
0xd0201000-0xd0201fff irq 9 at device 11.0 on pci2
ndis0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1
ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:0e:35:03:82:74
ndis0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
ndis0: 11g rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
Basically it does work well but, wicontrol returns strange numbers:
% wicontrol -i ndis0
NIC serial number: [ ]
Station name: [ vbook.fbsd.ru ]
SSID for IBSS creation: [ NC ]
Current netname (SSID): [ NC ]
Desired netname (SSID): [ NC ]
Current BSSID: [ 00:00:00:00:00:00 ]
Channel list: [ ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff
ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff fff
f 3fff ]
IBSS channel: [ 65535 ]
Current channel: [ 11 ]
Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 0 0 0 ]
Promiscuous mode: [ Off ]
Intersil-Prism2 based card: [ 1 ]
Port type (1=BSS, 3=ad-hoc): [ 1 ]
MAC address: [ 00:0e:35:03:82:74 ]
TX rate (selection): [ 0 ]
TX rate (actual speed): [ 11 ]
RTS/CTS handshake threshold: [ 2312 ]
Create IBSS: [ Off ]

Power Mgmt (1=on, 0=off): [ 0 ]
Max sleep time: [ 100 ]
WEP encryption: [ On ]
TX encryption key: [ 1 ]
Encryption keys: [ ][ ][ ][ ]
strange channel list, not any signal quality data, etc
also
% wicontrol -i ndis0 -C
%
show nothing, but there is connection via this interface:
% arp -an | fgrep ndis0
? (172.22.2.199) at 00:06:25:55:c7:af on ndis0 [ethernet]
% ping -q -c1 172.22.2.199

round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 16.116/16.116/16.116/0.000 ms
%
but wicontrol -l shows valid station (AP) info:
% wicontrol -i ndis0 -l
3 stations:
ap[0]:
netname (SSID): [ NC ]
BSSID: [ 00:06:25:55:c7:af ]

Quality/Signal/Noise [signal]: [ 100 / 100 / 0 ]
[dBm]: [ 100 / -49 / -149 ]
BSS Beacon Interval [msec]: [ 0 ]
Capinfo: [ WEP ]
DataRate [Mbps]: [ 11 ]
....
with signal quality.
Anybody can provide some clues ?
